        I cannot forget you

(A old poem written on 18 Feb 1993 with a re-write.)

My sweet and kind friend. Please tell me. We are not done. We were friends first, lovers second. I told you once.

"Love is hard, life is harder.
We need friends more than lovers.
Pleasure and need of the body become a more desperate need.
Lovers hold on tightly and need a strong love to keep the fire alive.
I need a friend and I don't want to lose you to the disappointment of love."

Pretty lady smiled and gentle tears fall. She whispered. Johnnie, can we go back in time? Can we forget the long nights of lover's kiss and embrace? Can we forget the landslide of falling apart? Can we forget how we danced to the midnight moon? Can we forget the need to swim as one into the perfect ending? Is the need of love more needy than the want of friendship?

Sweet lady knows. She is waiting for a miracle. Old friend turned lover. They can't return to the place that is lost. She knows when two become one. Passion and need take-over the need of a friend. She asked him. Can we be lovers and friends?

He brought her closer. He whispered. I can't unlove you and I cannot forget you. Without you in my life. I would be a lonely ship in the vast oceans. I would be dead in heart. Please let's hold on tightly and let's make a midnight wish. Me and you. Always good friends and never far apart. You are my first wish and last wish dear Lover.

This is beautiful. How desperately you need a friend, someone who can lift you up, instead of leaning on you when you so need to be leaning on someone else...if that makes sense. When you are so broken down and it seems like all the love in your heart has been spent. You are very talented, thank you for sharing.

This is a beautifully written poetry with an excellent insight into love and relationships. It is often not mistaken to take a relationship for an evolved form of friendship. A more physical one perhaps but emotional and spiritual too. Often our memories tend to label them and categorize them thus removing the fun out this special bond which need not be named or categorized at all.
I find it even more wonderful that it was originally written in 93 but I would say the message would hold true even in this day. Beautiful. Keep writing.

It is something that we never think about until it is too late, that we not only lose a love, but a friend too and that the days of realisation can be lonely and long with only the faint scent or echo of them to comfort us. Beautifully written, could hear the heavy sigh between the lines.
